Luke
21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow, casting in there two mites.
Luke
21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say to you*, that this poor widow has cast in more than all of them.
Luke
21:4 For all these have of their abundance cast in to the offerings of Elohim: but she of her penury has cast in all the living that she had.

Luke
21:6 As for these things which you* behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.
Luke
21:7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
Luke
21:8 And he said, Take heed that you* do not be deceived: for many will come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and the time draws near: therefore do not go after them.
Luke
21:9 But when you* shall hear of wars, and commotions, do not be terrified: for these things must first come to pass: but the end is not immediately.

21:11 Great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences will be in diverse places. And there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
Luke
21:12 But before all these, they will lay their hands on you*, and persecute you*, delivering you* up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
Luke
21:13 And it shall turn to you* for a testimony.
Luke
21:14 Settle it therefore in your* hearts, not to meditate beforehand what you* shall answer.
Luke
21:15 For I will give you* a mouth and wisdom, which all your* adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Luke
21:16 And you* will be betrayed by parents, brothers, kinsmen, and friends; and some of you* they will cause to be put to death.
Luke
21:17 And you* will be hated by all men for my name's sake.
Luke
21:18 But there shall not a hair of your* head perish.
Luke
21:19 In your* patience you* possess your* souls.
Luke
21:20 And when you* shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that its desolation is near.
Luke
21:21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of it depart from it; and do not let those who are in the countries enter into it.
Luke
21:22 For these are the days of vengeance, so that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
Luke
21:23 But woe to those who are with child, and to those who nurse infants in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled.
Luke
21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for apprehension of those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Luke
21:27 And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.
Luke
21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your* heads: for your* redemption draws near.
Luke
21:29 And he spoke to them a parable: Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees;
Luke
21:30 When they now shoot forth, you* see and know of your* ownselves that summer is now near at hand.
Luke
21:31 So likewise, when you* see these things come to pass, you* know that the kingdom of Elohim is near at hand.
Luke
21:32 Truly I say to you*, This generation shall not pass away, till all is fulfilled.
Luke
21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my word shall not pass away.
Luke
21:34 And take heed to yourselves*, lest at any time your* hearts are overcharged with surfeiting, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come upon you* unexpectedly.
Luke
21:35 For as a snare it shall come on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Luke
21:36 Watch therefore, and pray always, so that you* may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
